If you are going to do that, do not use the blue additive for the trailer's storage tank, or you will "destroy" your septic tank.
I have a need to put a septic cleanout in the yard. The real reason is the occassional dumping of the travel trailer tanks. Spoke with the inspector. He said I could not put in a connector to dump, but he would not have a problem with a cleanout. Use it however I needed to.
So I dig down and use a snap cutter on the cast iron. Install a wye using Mission no-hub's. Should I put gravel around this before replacing the dirt? On the ground surface I intend to use one of those boxes with the lid so I will not have a problem with the mower. Have I left anything out?
Thanks for the input
If you are going to do that, do not use the blue additive for the trailer's storage tank, or you will "destroy" your septic tank.
Don't use the stuff. I use a natural product similar to what I send into the septic periodically. I do not know why some have all the fuss over their black and gray tanks. I treat it like my septic, keep water in the traps and toilet and we have no odors. I watch what passes when I dump and it is similar to what I have seen others dump that are heavy with chemicals. So why spend all the extra $$$. Besides the chemicals would go into someone else's septic. Why would I want to do that?
County tried to strong arm everyone around me to put in sewer about 10 years ago. Most paid out the $$ and complied. In fact some are just now paying it off. I was told if I need any major repairs they will condem my septic and force me to go to sewer. So I take care of it. Wash water is recycled to the gardens. Only thing down the chute is what needs to go down.
To go from where I park the trailer to where I will need to place the cleanout means I will need to use one of those macerator type of hoses. All the better I think. It might help that #2 is off limits to the males of the family. unless it is a dire emergency! Now that would be a totally different situation.
With that all said do you think the installation is correct?

R Markdown
R Markdown is a format that enables easy authoring of reproducible web reports from R. It combines the core syntax of Markdown (an easy-to-write plain text format for web content) with embedded R code chunks that are run so their output can be included in the final document.
The concept of R Markdown is similar to Sweave (a system built-in to R for combining R with LaTeX). In Sweave, Rnw files are "weaved" into TeX files that are then compiled into PDFs. In R Markdown, Rmd files are similarly "weaved" into plain markdown (.md) files that are then compiled into HTML documents.
The R Markdown syntax is described in detail below. At a high-level it is a combination of the following:
- The core Markdown syntax
- The ability to embed R code and the results of its execution
- Additional extensions provided by the Sundown library
- Support for LaTeX and MathML equations
- Bundling of images within generated HTML files
The implementation of R Markdown is provided by two packages:
- knitr — Weaves Rmd files into plain markdown (.md) files
- markdown — Converts markdown files into HTML documents
For example, to run the R code chunks inside an Rmd file and then convert the resulting markdown file into HTML you would execute the following:
markdownToHTML("Foo.md", "Foo.html")
Note that this can also be accomplished in one step by calling
knitr::knit2html. However, the fact that converting from Rmd to HTML is broken into two steps allows for the use of alternate markdown rendering programs (e.g. Pandoc).
RStudio also implements support for rendering R Markdown files into HTML using the Knit HTML commands. This produces a result equivalent to the above code.
The following is a detailed description of the R Markdown syntax. Note that the first two sections covering Core Markdown and R Code Chunks are always applicable. The remaining sections apply to the rendering of markdown to HTML as implemented by RStudio and the markdown package. If you are using an alternate markdown program such as Pandoc please consult its documentation for information on comparable extensions.
Core Markdown
The core markdown syntax defines plain-text formatting commands for a wide variety of constructs including headers, phrase emphasis, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, and inline code. R Markdown implements all of the core markdown syntax (with two exceptions noted below in the Github/Sundown Extensions section).
Please reference the core markdown syntax definition for a detailed description of supported elements.
Embedded R Code
Within an R Markdown file, R code chunks can be embedded using fenced code regions:
1 + 1
R code chunks can also have a label and specify processing options:
```{r md-cars-scatter, message=FALSE, fig.width=7, fig.height=5}
qplot(hp, mpg, data=mtcars)+geom_smooth()
You can also evaluate R expressions inline by enclosing the expression within a single back-tick qualified with 'r'. For example:
I counted `r 1 + 1` red trucks on the highway.
When R code is displayed in the resulting HTML file, it is given a distinct background color and syntax highlighted. Textual output resulting from R code is shown within a bordered frame.
Sundown Extensions
The markdown package uses the Sundown library for rendering markdown to HTML (Sundown is a project maintained by Github). Sundown supports core markdown, a set of extensions known as Github flavored markdown, as well several other extensions.
The Github flavored markdown extensions include:
- Multiple underscores in words (e.g.
perform_complicated_task) are not treated as formatting
- URLs are automatically linked
- Fenced code regions using
Additional extensions include:
- Pandoc title blocks and YAML front-matter at the top of documents is ignored
- Support for tables using the syntax defined by PHP Markdown Extra.
- Superscripts (e.g. superscript^2)
- Strikethrough (e.g. ~~strikethrough~~)
Finally, selected ASCII character sequences are converted into typographic HTML entities:
- Straight quotes ( " and ' ) into "curly" quotes
- Backtick quotes (
``like this'') into "curly" quotes
- Dashes ("
--" and "
---") into en- and em-dash entities
- Three consecutive dots ("
...") into an ellipsis entity
- Fractions
1/2, and
3/4into ¼, ½, and ¾
- Symbols
(tm), and
(r)into ©, ™, and ®
LaTeX and MathML Equations
You can embed LaTeX or MathML equations in R Markdown files using the following syntax:
$equation$for inline equations (note there must not be whitespace adjacent to the $ delimiters)
$$ equation $$for display equations
<math ...> </math>for MathML equations.
The article on Equations in R Markdown includes more detailed information on embedded equations.
Image Bundling
When converting from markdown to HTML, images that are referenced using relative hrefs are bundled directly into the generated HTML file. This creates a standalone web page that can be shared without needing to package up any additional files. You can attach the HTML file to an email, share it using a public folder, or deploy it to a web server as a single HTML file.
Image bundling is performed by base64 encoding the image and then inlining the encoded image using a data URI.
Text Encoding
The Sundown library reads and writes content using UTF-8 encoding. It is therefore most convenient to use UTF-8 as the encoding for Rmd files. Note that RStudio supports the use of other encodings for Rmd files (it converts them to UTF-8 prior to sending them to Sundown) however if you are using the markdown package directly you'll need to perform this conversion manually.

70 State St, Rochester, NY | Directions 1461443.156915 -77.613616
Neighborhoods: Central Business District
worst hotel service ever – We were assured that 'cosmetic' work being done on the hotel at the time of the wedding would be unnoticeable. Sandblasting is not unnoticeable! Nor was the picket lines because they were using non-union workers. This is how it started. We had to change hotel rooms twice because the plumbing was not working. The carpeting is lifting up in the hallways, toilet tank covers were not fitting We had reserved rooms for over 50 guests at the hotel. More than half our guests changed rooms. Some had no air conditioning in their room. The housekeeping service was horrible. Rooms were not made up until very late in the day. The hotel is an absolute mess,
We had to page our wedding coordinator Patty repeatedly The aisle was not as long as we were told and the customized aisle runner was secured upside down hand painting was not visable until they cut the runner and had the writing visable. The bride asked them to flip the runner but they refused!
They had servers from the other wedding walking through our cocktail hour with food telling our guests that these aren't for you, don't touch!
The table service was horrible. There were not nearly enough servers. The orders were a mess, despite having to document who had what on the seating cards. They were removing plates before half the reception was fed.
Then we had the power loss. Again we had to go find our wedding coordinator. By running extension cords across the floor and taping them down we were able to get the music going again, but the ceiling fans in the tent...no such luck.
She was always upset and made us feel like we were bothering her for the most simple of requests. I would never recommend anyone to this hotel, and would not ever want to sleep there again and would hope that I can prevent at least one bride from ruining their day by this review. The thought that my daughter's most important day was ruined by their lack of professionalism is extremely upsetting.
Upscale accommodations especially designed for business travelers, featuring complimentary amenities that promote a restful night's sleep. – In Short
This polished, contemporary hotel is known for its business-friendly facilities, with state-of-the-art meeting rooms and directorial services to assist with planning and budgeting.

Great restaurant bar in lobby – A clean hotel in a great downtown location. The weekends are a bit quiet downtown, so you have to really search for something to do.

I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 white 16gb
the phone is not charging while on and is not being recognized by iTunes BUT it is charging when its off/ dead for some reason. I took it to the apple store today without an appointment but they tried multiple official cables and none worked so the cable is not the problem.
I never opened up this phone. I want to take it back to apple so that they can give me a new phone but the problem is that the phone is jailbroken using Jailbreakme 3.0. I can't restore because its not connected to iTunes and its not restoring from Settings > General > reset its hanging on the apple screen with the progess bar
So can Apple genius bar tell if the phone is jailbroken if there is no Cydia? but of course the internal packages remain oh and also in settings there is still Cydelete in settings.

AUSTIN -- There was no shortage of misleading and suspect statements made by candidates in the first presidential debate of the 2012 election.
The single largest dispute of the night revolved around a claim made by Democratic President Barack Obama regarding Republican opponent Mitt Romney's proposed tax plan.
"Governor Romney's central economic plan calls for a $5 trillion tax cut," the president said.
Romney's response was a flat rejection. "I'm not looking for a five trillion dollar tax cut," said Romney. "What I've said is I won't put in place a tax cut that adds to the deficit."
The president's argument takes figures from the non-partisan Tax Policy Center which predict Romney's plan would yield $480 billion less in revenue than current policy by 2015, multiplying that prediction over 10 years in order to show $5 trillion in reduced revenue in a decade. The figures are arrived at without closing deductions and loopholes Romney has yet to identify, but says will make up for tax cuts.
"It is not possible to come up with enough deductions and loopholes that only affect high-income individuals to avoid either raising the deficit or burdening the middle class," Obama argued. "You may keep referring to it as a $5 trillion tax cut," Romney returned. "But that's not my plan."
The bottom line -- It's not Romney's plan, although whether Romney's plan to make up for the revenue lost through tax cuts by closing deductions and loopholes is mathematically viable is unclear.
"Middle-income Americans have seen their income come down by $4,300," Romney characterized the economy under President Obama. "I'll call it the economy tax. It's been crushing. At the same time, gasoline prices have doubled under the president."
The statement about income is an exaggeration. According to census data, household income adjusted for inflation fell about $2,500 under President Obama and the Household Income Index appears to be on the upswing. It's still a drop, just not by the amount Romney suggests.
When it comes to gas, Romney is right. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the price of a gallon of gas bottomed out at around $1.61 when the recession hit in December of 2008. Today it's about $3.80, which is more than double, yet at the same time it has yet to returned to the high of around $4.11 in July of 2008.
"The last three percent of businesses happen to employ half of all the people who work in small business," Romney said while talking about reducing the tax burden on small businesses. "Those are the businesses that employ one quarter of all the workers in America, and your plan is to take their tax rate from 35 percent to 40 percent."
"Under Governor Romney's definition, there are a whole bunch of millionaires and billionaires who are small businesses," Obama charged. "Donald Trump is a small business."
It's not just Romney's definition. The U.S. Small Business Administration generally uses the measurement of 500 or fewer employees to define a "small business," which could also include wealthy "S" corporations which are taxed at the individual tax rate. Since some of Donald Trump's several businesses could fit that broad definition, he could be considered a "small business owner" if not exactly a "small business" himself.

BLM seeks volunteers for raptor inventory nest survey
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah Salt Lake Field Office is seeking volunteers to assist with the annual Raptor Inventory Nest Survey (RINS) in northern Utah. Participation as a volunteer does not require special experience or education, and the BLM will provide training. In fact, the only prerequisites are a love for the outdoors, especially Utah's beautiful west desert, and a sincere desire to help the magnificent birds of prey that call our state home.

COWABUNGA!! After months of requests the original arcade Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game has finally made it to the Xbox Live Arcade, complete with four-player action, online multiplayer and achievement points. Best of all, this nearly twenty year old arcade game is busting onto the scene at a price of 400 points, or five real dollars. The good news is that this Mutant Turtles game is just as much fun as you remember it. Unfortunately, the bad news is that you'll instantly realize how far we've come since the days of token munching arcade machines.
I'm sure it won't come as much of a surprise, but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games didn't have a whole lot of story. All you need to know about this adventure is that the evil Shredder has kidnapped April and Splinter and it's up to Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo to save the day. Through five diverse levels the turtles will battle hordes of footclan ninjas, Bebop, Rocksteady, General Traag and Krang, ultimately leading to the final battle between you and Shredder.
Like most arcade games back in the late 1980s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is extremely simple to play. When it comes right down to it there are only two buttons used in the entire game, one that makes you jump and another that works as your attack button. Outside of the occasional jump kick there really isn't much depth to this experience, what you get is an extremely simple arcade game that has you mashing buttons and constantly continuing.
If you remember the 1989 arcade hit then you already know that this is not an easy game. It may be nearly two decades old and easy to play, but that does not mean that you will be blasting through this game without losing a man (er, turtle). The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game was created solely to suck those quarters out of your pocket, so expect to die dozens of times before finally squaring off against Shredder. This is especially true when you decide to play the game by yourself, but regardless of how you go about playing this Xbox Live Arcade game it's important to realize that it's just not an easy game.
Thankfully this version of the game features unlimited continues, so no matter how many times you end up dying you can still come back to save the day. While some people may view this as a good thing, there's no doubt that the unlimited continues ends up making this game a little too easy. When it comes right down to it there isn't much of a penalty for dying, just as long as you can keep continuing you never really feel like you have to play the game with a sense of caution. Having said that, you can choose to play the game however you want, so if you don't want to continue as many times as you need you can simply stop playing after you die a certain amount of time. Unfortunately this is not an option in the game itself, but if you pay attention to how many continues you use you should be able to limit the continues and turn this experience into something much more difficult. It would have been nice to see some sort of option that allowed you to limit the continues, but for whatever reason there is nothing like that present.
While the game is extremely bare bones, there is one brand new feature that makes this game worth your five dollars. That mode is the Xbox Live play, which allows you to team up with three other people and go through the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game online. If you're not the type of person who wants to play by yourself, then you're in luck because this game also supports up to four players on a single system (assuming you have enough controls handy). Regardless of how you play this game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is definitely better with multiple people than it is by yourself.
One of the biggest problems with bringing this arcade game home is that it's not very long. In truth you can go through this game in less than an hour, none of the five levels are very big and it's over just as most games are starting to pick up steam. Then again, considering the repetitive game play I'm not sure how long this type of game could hold up, but anybody expecting some sort of lengthy endeavor will no doubt be disappointed. The good news is that this game is fun enough to warrant several plays, especially if you're the type of person that is looking to earn all twelve achievement points.
As with so many other Xbox Live Arcade games, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is helped along by the achievements you can unlock for performing certain tasks. Some might complain that these achievements are artificially extending the life of the game, but as far as I'm concerned these twelve achievements are pushing you to play the game in different ways. There are achievements for both online and offline game modes, as well as a few that will definitely take you a few tries to unlock. There's a great balance of points to pick up here, including a few that will definitely feel like achievements after you've earned them.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is not the deepest game on the Xbox Live Arcade, but if you're the type of person that loved the arcade game then this is a must buy. While the game is definitely short and lacks any kind of depth, it's hard to deny that this is truly an exciting experience that will bring back a lot of memories of simpler times. The problem with a game like this is that we've moved past this style of game play, if this game were to be developed today it would be the laughing stock of industry. But as a trip down memory lane the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles do a good job of preserving a slice of history that a lot of young adults would like to cherish. This is not the best game on the Xbox 360, but at five dollars it's hard to be too critical of a game like this. In fact, now that I've gone through this adventure I'm ready to experience the sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time.

Video: Interview with New Qt Chief at Qt Developer Days 2008
At the Qt Developer Days in Munich, Anika Kehrer from Linux Magazine Online interviewed Qt Software's new chief, Sebastian Nystroem.
The magazine engaged Sebastian Nystroem in an interview while attending the fifth annual Qt Developer Days conference in Munich October 14-15. In the video, the new Qt chief at Nokia answered questions primarily about the whereabouts of the former chief Trolls, why Nokia needs Qt and why it bought the entire company. He talked further about Nokia's Open Source commitment and his own use of Qt.
Nokia bought Trolltech in January 2008 and renamed the division Qt Software in October. It now calls its Qtopia cross-platform Qt Extended. Nystroem has been at Nokia since 2003 after leaving McKinsey & Co. and became VP of Qt Software during 2008.

The Heflin City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved a contract for work on Bells Mill bridge, but only with the understanding that Mayor Rudy Rooks would make sure the city's contribution for the project would not rise again, said Councilman Travis Crowe on Wednesday. "We voted for it if it's not more than $48,414," Crowe said. "If it's more than that, I just don't know what we're going to do."
Bells Mill Road is a primary route through Heflin, carrying traffic to Cleburne County's high school and middle school.
City Clerk Shane Smith said the city originally thought its portion of the project would be about $30,000 with an Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement grant picking up the rest of the cost. But in the contract sent to the city by ALDOT, the city's portion was listed as more
than $48,000, he said.
Rooks said the difference is the inspection and engineering cost.
"I sent a letter last month asking the DOT if they had the personnel to supply that for us," Rooks said. "Undoubtedly they have agreed to do it, but we haven't got a confirmation letter back."
The price of the contract increased $31,571 from $210,499 to $242,070. That increase would be about the cost of the inspection and engineering services for the project, Rooks said.
Rooks was able to confirm with ALDOT Wednesday that unless there were cost overruns during construction, $48,414 would be the city's remaining contribution, he said. The city has already paid $25,000 to JRWA Consulting of Eclectic for the initial engineering, which was done more than a year ago, Rooks said.
DeJarvis Leonard, division engineer for ALDOT, said the department is handling the inspection and engineering services for Heflin's bridge project.
In the contract from ALDOT, the low bidder for the bridge work was Pelham-based Alabama Bridge Builders. The company bid $210,499 for the Bells Mill bridge project. If ALDOT doesn't confirm that the city's contribution to the project includes the inspection and engineering services, Rooks said the council will schedule a special meeting next week to take another look at the contract.
Rebecca White, spokeswoman for ALDOT said the ATRIP funding isn't affected by the federal government shutdown.
"That money was already authorized," White said. "That's already a done deal."
In other business the council:
— Recognized Tammy Perry, director of the city's Parks and Recreation Department, who was named the 2013 Outstanding Volunteer by the Alabama Communities of Excellence.
— Proclaimed Oct. 20-26 as Pro Bono Week in recognition of attorneys' work for low-income residents. There will be legal aid clinics and service projects throughout the state that week, Smith said.
— Approved an ordinance protecting historic structures in the city's general business district by allowing them to be used as a business or as a residence.
— Scheduled the annual Christmas parade for Dec. 14 at 6 p.m.
The next City Council meeting will be Oct. 22 beginning at 5:30 p.m. with a work session.

90 Students and Many More Will Benefit With the Use of iPads, Officials Say
MONTROSE – Nearly 100 seventh-grade students at Columbine Middle School have spent their first few weeks of the 2012-14 school year learning to operate and care for the world's most popular tablet computer, thanks to a donation from Montrose residents Jim and Sharen Branscome.
"It's a pilot program," said Columbine Middle School Principal Ben Stevenson. "Hopefully, it'll be successful, and create something the whole district can model after."
Stevenson said that all of the school's 32 teachers have also received the computer.
As part of the curriculum, Stevenson said, students in the program will spend the first quarter learning to handle iPads responsibility, and learn good "digital citizenship."
"First and foremost," Stevenson said, "people have to understand this is an educational tool. They're great tools, but they don't take the place of strong instruction, and quality teachers."
At a winter school board meeting early this year, Jim Branscome voiced concern about the fact that some students were waiting upwards of 20 minutes just to log on to the internet, in a class that lasted just 55 minutes.
Deeming the lag-time a waste of potential, Branscome donated $64,000 toward fixing the problem. "Sharen and I think its a pretty innovative project which will improve the ability of the student to excel," he said of the program.
The machines are not for the students' entertainment, but are viewed rather as essential support mechanisms for the development and enhancement of skills in such complex areas as communication, new media literacy, creativity and student-centered learning.
The goal is for students to learn and interact with one another while their teachers monitor success and learn to identify, in real-time, students who need more help. The iPads feature controlled computer algorithms allowing teachers to monitor student performance, and keep them from accessing inappropriate material.
"You get to assess them on the spot," said Columbine teacher Keith Obsheatz, whose class is participating in the program. "We can take a quick quiz or assessment, and you get immediate feedback on your computer."
Obsheatz said the devices allow him the ability to teach in ways he has always wanted to teach. "The program itself is phenomenal. It's a 21st century skill that they need," he said.
Obsheatz said that initially, the kids wanted to play with iPads, but they are now learning to treat them as a learning tool. "Once we set down the groundwork with them, they started to understand they have to take care of them like they would a textbook," he said.
According to Stevenson, it will be awhile before students are allowed to take the tablets home. With more instruction, students will be able to bring the technology home for curriculum work outside of school.
"It's cutting-edge," the principal said, adding, "We want all our kids to be exposed to this technology."
Obsheatz is looking forward with sending the kids home with videos and powerpoint lectures that will let them learn and understand material at their own pace, as opposed to trying to "cram" curriculum in a short amount of time.
"It's going to level the playing field," Obsheatz said of students with learning disabilities.
With the use of modern technology, Columbine, like many schools across the country, is investing in wireless internet capability to meet access demand required from such devices.
Stevenson said some of the $64,000 Branscome donation went to better construct modern Wi-Fi access in a school built nearly 60 years ago.
In the U.S., billions are currently being spent on Information Technology and digital textbooks, with the bulk of that spending in middle and high schools. Recent surveys indicate a majority of college students prefer a digital format for their curriculum.
"It's the wave of the future," Stevenson said, adding that the participating Columbine students are "pioneers" in a new era of Montrose public education.
District officials hope the new technology will help bridge a generational gap between parents – who remember a time before the internet – and their children, who have never known a world without it, to better prepare for a global learning environment.
Branscome said the use of iPads poses a stark difference to the one-room school house of his childhood in the Appalachian area of southwestern Virginia. During his travels around the world, Branscome said, he and Sharen have seen the uses and benefit of similar devices help impoverished or remote students to improve and catch up, in areas from "fractions to geography."
Branscome said education and economic development are "tied together," and that an increasingly technologically savvy community will attract the right companies to Montrose. He and his wife have received everything from thank yous to comments from many parents who wish their children could participate in the iPad program.
Some parents of Columbine seventh graders did not want their children to participate in the iPad program, however, a resistance that has tasked administrators with explaining to skeptics why the iPads are a sound educational investment.
In addition to Columbine's seventh grade iPad users, Stevenson said one eight-grade class will have access to the iPads, and that a pool of iPads will be available to students on a check-out basis.
In recent years, schools in the Montrose County RE-1J District have had to cut millions from their budgets. Stevenson said it will take about a year to see if test scores show the iPads are making a powerful difference in the classroom.
A Community Technology Challenge Grant was created following the Branscome's donation as a way for others to participate in purchasing iPads for Montrose students. A $600 donation will purchase an iPad with curriculum and support for awaiting Montrose students.
For more information about the tax-deductible donation, contact the Montrose Community Foundation at 970/249-3900.
Delta County schools have a similar program.

President Obama said that voting for him was a good revenge. We visited Telluride on Election Day and while there saw some people that drove around town with a big Romney poster on their car. My wife overheard a cashier talking to a customer saying he would like to throw nails in front of the car.
This seems to be a typical Obama supporter response to anyone with the gall to display a different message and are they saying to themselves, "I want to vandalize their property and hurt them?" It seems that President Obama has stirred up much hatred. Leviticus 19:18: "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord."

The Met: Live in HD
L'Elisir d'Amore
Saturday, October 13, 2012
12:55 pm
Purchase tickets online
The Met Live in HD season begins October 13 with a new production of Donizetti's comic gem L'Elisir d'Amore, directed by Bartlett Sher and conducted by Maurizio Benini. Anna Netrebko makes her Met role debut as the beautiful landowner Adina, with Matthew Polenzani as Nemorino, the simple peasant who falls in love with her. Mariusz Kwiecien sings Adina's arrogant fiancé, Sergeant Belcore, and Ambrogio Maestri sings the role of the magic potion-peddling Doctor Dulcamara. "L'Elisir d'Amore is kind of two operas at the same time," Sher says. "It's an opera that's a great entertainment, and it's an opera that has something else happening underneath. It's informed by when in Italian history it was written—you can see the early stirrings of a cry for independence."
Approximate running time: 125 minutes.
Tickets are $25 ($22 members; $18 students) and may be ordered online or by calling 413 458 0MET (458 0638).

Best Uses
: I've had this product for about 6 months. I have the new model. The old model is not recommended as it had some reliability issues. It is important to get the newer one, and follow the instructions. I have had very good results with it so far. The compost that results from my kitchen scraps is very dark and granular and spongy like compost should be. Most of the compost that you buy in a store comes from sewage treatment plants who have to get rid of their sludge somehow. The call that compost but really it's not, and it has lots of chemicals and toxins in it. If you make your own compost then you have the benefit of knowing what goes into it. If you eat only organic foods, then you have organic compost. Nothing is better!

Best Uses
I have been using this model for about 2 years. It works very well to turn nearly all of our food scraps into delicious black compost. It is easy to use and the instructions are very clear, although it does take some time to get into the habit of composting this way. For example it can take meat and eggs and cheese which is different than any other form of compostin. However, it can not easily handle certain biological items that other composters can, like yard leaves (they are too big and will jam the machine), broccoli (sulfur compounds cause strong odors), or steak bones (cause jams).
The biggest confusion about this product is which version you have. The older ones were the initial model which did not function very well. Those were clearly the companies first entry into the composting market and just not very good. I got the newer one pictured here and it has the kinks worked out. I strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to compost without the work typically involved.

Best Uses
We have now had this (smallest) unit in our kitchen for 1 full year. Initial start-up took some learning & time, but it has worked very well for scraps from a 2-person household (approx 7 cups/week of finely cut scrap is accummulated over the week in a countertop air tight bin and added to the NM all at once). Every weekend a silcone scraper is used to mix up the contents of bottom container and scrape down the sides of the top container before adding the new material along with 1 cup wood pellets (pet store bedding) and NaHCO3 - I rarely need to "dump" from top to bottom as this happens slowly & automatically over the week. When bottom is full (2-3 weeks) I add to my outdoor compost pile, but plan to add directly to may garden this spring.
Others have mentioned troubles with the flaps - I believe this issue depends on the weight of scrap material added - if you put in small quantities of scrap as generated, the weight of scrap is insuffient to hold the flaps closed during turning, so its best to amass a good quantity and limit the number of times you go into the unit.
I do wish it could process Citrus and Brassica waste because we eat lots, but most other compost can not handle any dairy, meat or fish! Very happy with this purchase!

Best Uses
I reviewed this machine when I had only used it about a month. I rated it high as it worked so well for awhile. But within another month the mixing fins started staying wide open and the contents fell into the transfer bin half composted. I took the contents out and put them back in the top but again the fins stayed open after one cycle and everything fell through.
Gardeners Supply replaced the unit but the new one started doing the same thing within days. The fins stuck open, the contents fell through and nothing was composted enough to use. We had been extremely careful with this new one, cutting everything up into tiny pieces before putting it in the composter.
I sent an email to Nature Mill asking for a partial refund as the machine was still way under warranty. They refused because I had purchased it from GS. They only honor the warranty if you buy from them. Their explanation stated others had had that problem but I should just forget about the fins and let everything drop down into the transfer bin to compost. Well, it has been well over a month and all the compost is sitting in the bin covered with mold and still in a semi-solid state and unusable as is. And yes, the fins are still wide open. Hmmm, why are they even there?
This is a great idea that just has very poor design. Don't waste your money.

Best Uses
- Sitting in a landfill
First one lasted 3 weeks before it cracked right down the middle. Called the company and they wanted me to send it back and wait 4-6 weeks for a replacement. Called Gardner's Supply and they immediately sent me out a brand new unit and didn't want the old one back for sanitary reasons. Unfortunately, this led to the first unit and it's foam construction to be tossed in a landfill. Kind of ruins the whole environmental feel-good part of composting.
Second unit has lasted 6 months and makes compost. However, whenever I push the transfer button, nothing transfers. I need to reach my hand in the unit and pop the trapdoors open with a screwdriver then manually push the compost towards the trap doors while the mixing bar rotates. I end up with very dirty hands.
The new unit now makes loud clicking noises when it mixes and I'm watching the seams bend and stress again. Looks like this one will crack in half any day now.
Gardner's Supply is a great company. For the sake of their own reputation, they should stop carrying this defective product.

Best Uses
- Kitchen scraps
I gave this composter a good review when I first purchased it but I must change that now. The composter really does work but only for a few months before it starts to fall apart. I took great care of the composter, kept it in my kitchen and followed directions scrupulously. The design is great; the materials the unit is made out of are not. Nature Mill uses what looks like compressed styrofoam and it simply is not strong enough to hold the electric motor and air pump in place. The electric motor that turns the mixing arm starts to twist in it's slot which then puts pressure on the air pump causing it to get louder and louder. Meanwhile the pressure from the twisting arm also starts the process of splitting the entire unit in half.
Gardeners was fantastic for replacing the first composter. I have absolutely babied the replacement yet it is still doing the same darn thing. You can't keep the motor from twisting in it's place. I have tried replacing the worthless little metal strips that are supposed to hold it in place to no avail. I even tried using metal C-clamps to hold the composter together.
Bottom line - composter works but until Nature Mill reinforces the back of the machine where the motor and pump are, don't waste your money. The unit will break on you no matter what you do.

I was in the market for a compost bin and saw this in the catalog. Wow, really expensive. But with delayed interest free payments I could swing it. Am I ever glad I made that decision. All the kitchen garbage including left over meat get put in the kitchen compost jar. When it is full all goes out to the composter we keep on a small table in the garage. This small but mighty unit heats and churns up the garbage and turns it into compost that goes out to the garden. All in a weeks time. I'm in love.

I originally ordered an outdoor compost tumbler which was discontinued. Norman from Gardener's Supply called to update me on the status of my order and mentioned the electric composter which he had tested for three months. Initially,I was hesitant because of the price but since I had a gift certificate, the price was reduced enough for me give it a try. I am so pleased that I did because this composter really does what it is supposed to do and produces excellent compost within two weeks.
Some suggestions to consider if you plan to go with this composter.
1. There is a learning process so follow the written directions scrupulously. Especially add the wooden pellets and baking soda (included with the order) to each large deposit. The pellets make a big difference to insure the compost stays dry and you avoid compost "tea."
2. Put a large pan under the composter. I use an old cafeteria tray but a cookie sheet will do. I have a tendency to spill scraps when dumping into the composter or pulling out the lower chamber where the compost cooks.
3. I placed the composter in the garage which is convenient to both the kitchen and outside. It does not take up much space and is relatively quiet.
4. Within one day, fresh scraps are broken down and the compost is starting to steam. Within a week, I make a transfer and by the second week, I have lovely compost to place in the garden.
The process is efficient and so much easier than using my outdoor compost bins......which I have been doing for 25 years. Despite the cost, I would highly recommend this product. It works and the compost is perfect.
- Was this a gift?:

Best Uses
My family has purchased perhaps six or seven Nature Mill composters. At first, they work superbly, and the rich, black compost is a delight to behold.
However, after 3-4 months of use, the composter will inevitably break down. The doors will jam, or the stirrer bar will break down, or the frame will split. Rather than acknowledge their poor engineering, and ship you a new unit, Nature Mill will have you mail the broken unit back to them (at your own expense), and (a mere 6-8 weeks later) will send you a jerry-rigged "repaired" unit back.This will have all sorts of issues. You will then engage with their support staff, who will treat you with condescension, and suggest that you are an incompetent composter, rather than admit their product's mechanical flaws.
Reluctantly (since I am an avid composter) I must caution against dealing with Nature Mill.

Best Uses
Had been researching composters for quite a while. With an expansion of our graden this year decided to take the plunge. Living in NE was drawn to this product due to the remarkably quick production of compost. Have placed the unit in my cellar by request of my wife, but have been surprised at how quite it is unless it's running the mixing arm or dropping the compost into the bin below. It seems to be dumping without me initiating the process, but so far have only had to take a small amount of uncomposted material and place it back up into the main chamber. So far have been very happy with the purchase.

The List: 5 winter driving words of advice
Mother Nature must get bored in the winter. There's little growing to be done in cold months and most of the foliage she usually tends has retreated into hibernation. This means Nature has to find new ways to entertain herself. Based on observation, she really likes dumping a boat-load of snow onto the roads and watching the wee people slide around in their cars, smashing into each other and careening into ditches.
We can't stop Mother Nature, but we can prepare ourselves for the wintry slip 'n slide.
Our tire-changing, battery-charging, I-locked-my-keys-in-the-dang-car-again friends from AAA have plenty of helpful tips for winter driving. They include the obvious, like:
- Accelerate and decelerate slowly.
- Drive slowly. Give yourself time to maneuver.
- Know your brakes. Keep the heel of your foot on the floor and use the ball of your foot to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal.
- Don't stop if you can avoid it. If you can slow down enough to keep rolling until a traffic light changes, do it.
- Don't power up hills. Applying extra gas on snow-covered roads just starts your wheels spinning. Try to get a little inertia going before you reach the hill and let that inertia carry you to the top.
- Don't stop going up a hill. Get some inertia going on a flat roadway before you take on the hill.
- Stay home. If you really don't have to go out, don't.
While those tips are essential for safe winter driving, we think AAA forgot a few fundamentals. Here's our list of Tips for Winter Driving in Maine:
1. Pee before you get into the car. It doesn't matter if you're planning a 20-hour haul to the Midwest or a 2-minute trip to the corner store, PEE BEFORE YOU GO. In the winter, your two-minute trip could turn into two hours in stagnant traffic. If you're lucky, there'll be a gas station within spitting distance. More likely, you're choices will be limited to 1) a painful "holding," 2) a risky sprint from the driver's seat into the nearby woods, or 3) a frantic search within the car for an empty jar or highly absorbent blanket.
2. Pack a lunch. For the same reasons mentioned above, it's a good idea to store some emergency grub in the car. We're talking about non-perishable stuff like crackers or pretzel sticks, not fresh fruit that'll start decomposing in the glove box before it freezes solid for the remainder of the winter, only to thaw in May when you've long forgotten about it and can't for the life of you figure out where that smell is coming from.
3. Push and be pushed. If you don't believe in Karma, then you've never lived through a Maine winter. The seasonal mantra could be, "Push and be pushed," for it's certain that you'll do both more than once this winter. People come out of the woodwork to help push cars out of precarious positions in snow piles or on icy inclines. You'll inevitably witness it first hand. And in order not to anger the World, be sure to pay it forward.
4. Seek safety in numbers. The news rarely reports on stranded motorists who have been eaten by wolves on one of America's highways. That's because people don't get stranded and eaten all that often on highways. It's when the driver has the genius idea of taking a "back road" that trouble ensues, usually in the form of a blinding snow, an unplowed road and two months of eating dried bark and imitation leather. Heavy highway traffic isn't great either, but it's the difference between being found by AAA or being found by cadaver dogs.
5. Trust no one. We realize you're just coming off the holidays and those warm, fuzzy feelings that Christmas carols and twinkle lights inspire in otherwise cynical folk. And we're all for peace on Earth and good will toward men…except when it comes to winter driving. You can't trust any one – particularly your fellow drivers who misjudge their truck's braking capacity and their own driving competence. You need to be on the offensive here. You can't trust your own tires, brakes or reflexes. Drive like the winter is out to get you – because it is.

My husband is a connoisseur of fruitcakes.
What's that you say? He must have a cast iron stomach because fruitcakes are usually inedible?
Well, he may have a cast iron stomach, but it's unrelated to his love of the candied fruit of a fruitcake.
Although, I must say that I gasped in horror the first time I saw my husband open up a Christmas gift from his mother and it was a fruitcake. And it wasn't just any fruitcake. It was a Collin Street Bakery fruitcake. It's one of his favorite gifts.
Every time my husband gets one and jokes about how he's going to eat the whole thing in one sitting. And every time he says that, my mother-in-law always reminds him how expensive it is.
Fruitcakes, the good ones, aren't that hard to find, are they?
If you love the candied fruit of a fruitcake, tell us, where do you get the best ones. And if you have a family recipe you'd like to share, post it in the comments. Got a photo of it? Even better!

Edwards Statement on President Obama's Nomination of Davita Vance-Cooks to Public Printer
Washington, DC – Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (MD-4) released the following statement today regarding President Barack Obama's nomination of Davita Vance-Cooks to Public Printer, Government Printing Office.
"I commend President Obama for his nomination of Davita Vance-Cooks to Public Printer of the Government Printing Office (GPO). With 30 years of experience in the public and private sector, including the position of Deputy Public Printer, Ms. Vance-Cooks is well-qualified to serve as the first African American woman to run the Government Printing Office.
Under her leadership, GPO implemented an agency wide strategic performance plan, awarded approximately $500 million dollars annually in printing contracts to the private industry, and oversaw the award of a $50 million contract for the production of 2010 census materials; one of the largest procurements in agency history. Ms. Vance-Cooks will continue to build on these efforts as Public Printer, and I urge her swift confirmation."
